Favorite Cheap Trick?

Ok, let's face it. The computer AI does not deserve our fullest respect. It's not like fighting a human opponent... so don't worry about hurting its feelings. Besides...
the computer cheats sometimes. Remember the AI in MK2? With their "walk unaffected into the player's sweep and throw through a block"? Well, how did you most enjoy biting back with a cheap trick of your own?
My favorites (I'm only doing MK2, feel free to post tricks from other games):
- Jump-Kick Kintaro (v. 1.3, I believe): If you get the pattern down, you can repeatedly jump-kick Kintaro into submission as he tries, in vain, to uppercut you when you jump in. (Seriously, you can't get hit by the uppercut unless you refuse to kick at all)
- 100% Probability killing Shao Kahn with Kitana (MK2): Kitana's fan-lift stuns Shao Kahn very, very well. He mostly walks into it like a fool, or he tries to shadow-rush past it. Kitana will fan-lift Kahn even when he tries to rush. The only thing the lift doesn't work against is the spear. But he usually doesn't try that. Basically, just spam Fan-lift repeatedly and have fun with your new rag-doll.

there are so many. my fav is probably lp trick in mk2 and umk3
The AI has incredible reflexes when you try to uppercut, they duck at the perfect time and uppercut YOU. The videos at darktemplars have some crazy stuff. Like when Kano does the cannon ball while mileena is running in. She blocks it so unfairly that it still pushes her back rather than kano getting punished. (can be done by human)
What I hate the most is getting thrown at times you shouldn't be, like during raidens teleport and during uppercut frames.

MK3:
Freezing with Sub-Zero (Or Sindel or Cyrax), running up and doing their biggest combo. Repeat.
Freezing with Sub-Zero (Or Sindel or Cyrax), running up and doing their biggest combo. Repeat.
in MK2 when using Raiden and facing Kung Lao and long way to beat him but easy way is do your torpedo move he will block and then throw his hat but you will be up in the air from the block keep doing the torpedo move and you will easily and probaly flawlessly beat Kung Lao.
In MK2 2.1 the easiest way to beat Shao Kahn is to fip back into a corner and when Kahn walks up just keep and flipping back and press the kick button for a back jump kick. He will block it until he dies. Also in 2.1 if you pick Scorpion or Sub Zero you can spear/freeze then uppercut until they die. They only counter or jump over 10% of the time. On 3.1 and 2.1 with Raiden: If you forward jump kick them to the ground you can Torpedo them before they get up, then the AI throws a projectile after the torpedo about 90% of the time so after you torpedo automatically jump over, then repeat.
On UMK3 arcade: When you select Sektor or Smoke all you have to do is summersault backwards and press a kick button at the same time. This will cause the AI to throw a projectile. Before the projectile hits you do forward, forward + Low Kick for the tele punch. Hits them every single time. Note: This will work on any fighting ladder including the hardest one. The only characters you cannot do this on is Noob Saibot and Motaro. You can do this on Shao Kahn lik 50% of the time though. Have fun.

This is a cheap trick done by the AI when I'm up against Baraka. If i try to sweep (or even get close) he tosses me, but if i try to jump in, he does his on-one-knee-slicing attack. I never beat him on anything more than easy.
My favorite cheap trick of all time:
MK2 v 3.1: Hardest difficulty made easy.
If you try to fight the AI on hardest difficulty, it'll kick your butt. However, it is actually the easiest of all the difficulty levels, due to an interesting AI bug.
Step 1: Crouch and block.
Step 2: When they walk close, jump backwards.
Step 3: They will jump after you.
Step 4: Roundhouse kick while they're still in the air. It gets every opponent every single time. Period.
Issues:
-You can't do this trick with the ninjas, the female ninjas, or the shaolin monks. They don't have the roundhouse kicks to do the job. Use Baraka.
-Jump backwards, but be willing to take a few hits (namely a throw) so that you won't get stuck in the corner. If you do, the computer will murder you.

The Sheeva trick (tele-stomp) on Motaro. And using Scorpion's tele-punches on him too.
Turtling in the corner and uppercutting Shao Kahn.

Cheapest trick is the Jump backward pattern in MK2.
It works with everyone except: Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Kitana, Millena and Raiden.
You have to be on the left side.
By the way, you can kill Shao Kahn with just One Button without moving.
You can see it here, Shao Kahn easy
(I messed up the second round but I didnt retried it, its one attemp I made, its so easy you can even make double flawless if you use movement)
